Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to break through.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun לֶשַׁע (Lesha), as it is a specific place name found in the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The term "Lesha" appears in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Esau.

Context: Lesha is identified as a place name in the biblical account of the descendants of Esau, found in Genesis 36:17. The passage lists the chiefs of the sons of Esau, and Lesha is mentioned as one of the locations associated with these chiefs. The exact location of Lesha is not definitively known, and it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in biblical texts. The name is thought to be derived from a root meaning "to break through," possibly indicating a geographical feature or characteristic of the area. The historical and archaeological details about Lesha remain limited, and it is primarily recognized through its biblical mention.
